"Gourmet Tramping in New Zealand "

- John Sawyer and Liz Baker -

aybe you fancy the idea of preparing and eating a chorizo sausage and fennel risotto, accompanied by a Cloudy Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, at the Nydia Bay Hut in the Marlborough Sounds?

Or perhaps you would prefer to watch the sun go down while you dine on a pork fillet with lemon, olives and couscous, plus a bottle of Trinity Hill Hawke's Bay Chardonnay, on the slopes of Mt Ruapehu in Tongariro National Park?

Gourmet Tramping in New Zealand is all about indulging your senses in the spectacular surroundings of the back country. The authors have never been fans of bird-seed scroggin and energy bars, or boil-in-the-bag, just-add-hot-water, instant pasta blarrrrggh carried by the average tramper. If, like them, you love tramping but also enjoy eating scrumptious food, this book will be more valuable to you than insect repellent, earplugs or a Lonely Planet Guide.
